Honda riders Casey Stoner, Dani Pedrosa, Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl are returning to action after missing day two while HRC carried out engine checks following a problem on Pedrosa's bike.

Karel Abraham (Cardion AB Ducati) withdrew from the test on day one due to pain from shoulder and back injuries sustained at Jerez last week.

The first two days of testing were both interrupted by rain storms.

The third and final official pre-season test will be held at Jerez from March 23-25, when the full 21-rider grid - twelve manufacturer bikes plus nine CRTs - will be on track together for the first time.

Er.....why the personal attack on what I thought was a relatively neutral opening post...I don't think hoping VR to be up there in the leader pack makes me a " narrow minded Rossi fanboy " as you suggest. In fact the first line was acknowledging Casey as the man of the moment. I just think it would make for entertaining racing - which lets face it we need.
So why don't you crawl back under your bigoted rock - and contemplate your undersized manhood ( you may have been told it doesn't matter...but really, it does ).

MOTOGP.COM has an article telling who fell down if you want to know who fell down.
SuperbikePlanet reminds us that Dovisioso is putting in good times for a guy who broke his collarbone last month. Suprisingly fast given that. Persnonal prejudice says he'll never win in MotoGp. Satellite bike and all plus he couldn't get the job done on a factory Honda last year. Still one tough dude.
At 15:00 hrs and three to go ........a couple of riders are going to get down into the 1:59 range and set the benchmark leaving a certain Italian mfg wondering if it's their bike itself or is it.......something else on the bike.
